Re: Johnson Subdivision
Gentlemen,
As you may be aware, we currently provide fire and emergency medical services for the Johnson
Subdivision that lies North of 4ch Street and West of 35`h Avenue in Greater Greeley. This area is
included in the current boundaries of the Western Hills Fire Protection District and will likely be
annexed into the City of Greeley in the next few weeks.
We are aware that there may be an action before you requesting that certain streets within the
Johnson Subdivision be vacated as public rights of way in favor of becoming private streets. The
purpose of this correspondence is to raise our objection to such an action. In order to adequately
provide fire and emergency services, we feel strongly that these particular streets should be
owned and maintained by a public entity.
Further, it is our intention to seek completion of two short street segments (21 and "B" Streets)
that have remained incomplete for a number of years. These segments would connect the
Johnson Subdivision logically to the adjacent subdivision to the West. This is particularly
desirable since there are not any fire hydrants or significant water mains in the Johnson
Subdivision. Hydrants that can serve this area properly are located in the adjacent development
and could be easily accessed if these two streets remain public and are completed.
If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me.
cerely,
ug s P. F sman
Fire hief and Chief Administrative Officer
